The Amish will give you quality construction but they have no familiar design style like Shaker or Mission that you can definitively point to and say that is Amish. Some will build in that clean, simple design way but they will also build you a classical Colonial looking piece of furniture. They are less known for style than quality.<br>http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m687035.ashxFindPost/688192Mon, 27 Feb 2012 10:12:57 GMTRe:Shakers.
